The letter drafted for the largest case

Subject: Sales tax credit request — Liffey Tooling Ltd (Sample Company Inc.)

Dear Liffey Tooling Ltd Accounts Receivable team,

During a review of the tax on our purchase invoices, Sample Company Inc. found the lines below where we believe tax may have been charged in error. We may have misread our records, so please review them against your own.

VAT / GST on goods or services supplied outside your country:
We believe these supplies may qualify for zero-rating or the reverse charge; we can provide export or transport evidence and our VAT number if that helps.
  - Invoice LT-5521, dated 2026-03-15, line 1, Injection mould tooling, amount $9,800.00, tax charged $2,254.00 (shipped from IE to DE, our VAT number DE123456789); credit requested: $2,254.00

Total tax we are asking you to review: $2,254.00

Where you agree, could you please issue a credit memo or a corrected invoice for the tax shown? If you believe the tax was correctly charged on any line, a short note of the reason would help us update our records. We are happy to send copies of certificates or other documents you need.

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
Sample Company Inc.
